So my advice is, do your yoga first and chat up the ladies later. Focusing on chicks during the class is going to mess up your practice… and possibly make things awkward. The perfect storm!īut let me tell you something. On top of that, everyone is there to sweat, work out and shape their bodies. There are significantly more girls doing yoga than there are guys. Yoga classes are superb places for meeting girls. They’re going to be wearing yoga pants and they’re going to be striking sick yoga poses. There will likely be hot girls at many of your yoga classes. There Will Be Hot Girls In Stunning Poses
This is the 21st century, so if you don’t like getting your wrong postures corrected by a gay yoga teacher, you most likely have a general problem nowadays and I recommend you get over it. There Will Be Gay Dudesīe it fellow students or teachers, the percentage of gay dudes is higher at a yoga studio than in most other places. Generally, my recommendation is to just entirely let go of any ambition of trying to look extremely manly (especially in your first couple of classes) and focus on the awesomeness of the poses. Some of the most unmanly (but very common) poses are Downward Facing Dog, Cat Cow Pose, and Child Pose. People didn’t know Schwarzenegger back then, so the poses are optimized for tons of physical and mental benefits that go beyond muscle mass and that will perfectly complement our huge guns and epic deltoids. This is mainly because you don’t master the poses yet, but partially also because yoga has been practiced for thousands of years. You will find yourself trying to achieve physical postures that definitely don’t make you look like Schwarzenegger in Pumping Iron. I can promise you that there will be poses that you will not want your buddies to (ever) see you in. Some people think yogis are weird, but they're openly weird, and I love that (except for the yoga snobs). Vegan food, organic yoga mats, and chanting loud ohms are just a few. Many yogis have a tendency to be very enthusiastic about things that they believe are very yogic. Having said that, I'd like to add a warning. If you've always wanted to know what it feels like to "Ohm" in a group, yoga can be your chance! I had no freaking clue what was going on, but everyone in the room looked like total PROs and serious about yoga (except for me). Go with the flow. It is rare, but I’ve seen it happen at a mainstream yoga studio… and people actually knew the lyrics. I have personally witnessed my yoga instructor playing an instrument that looks like a hybrid between an accordion and a piano while the whole class chants a song in Sanskrit. Good stuff, boring stuff and some weird sh**. There Will Be Weird Sh**Īs with all new things, you’re going to see some stuff that you’ve never seen before. If this kind of stuff doesn't float your boat, that's cool. I like many of the spiritual elements, but not everyone does. The level of spirituality varies a lot from teacher to teacher and it also depends on the type of yoga you’re doing. Words of wisdom or moral stories that will usually encourage you to be more compassionate, loving and nice to people.Pictures, statues and other merchandise featuring Hindu gods that look like monkeys (Hanuman) or elephants (Ganesh).Meditation, ohming, Namaste-salutations and putting your hands together in front of your chest.Sounds cliché right? It’s true though! Most yoga teachers I have practiced with incorporate spiritual elements into their classes.
But don’t worry, it’s not all that bad if you know what to expect and believe me, it’s worth it. Being a fairly new yogi myself, I can tell you that there will be a selection of painful, weird, and crazy stuff happening during your first couple of classes. Now, let’s be honest here, your first yoga experience can be a scary endeavor. That is, of course, if you stick to your yoga for a while and stop eating cheese pizza and Big Macs for breakfast. But much more importantly, there’s a very good chance that you will be an a lot more healthy, balanced and flexible person sometime soon. So you’re a dude and you’ve decided to take your first yoga class? Good job! You are now one step closer to being date-worthy for all those yoga-pant-wearing vegan chicks out there.
